What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Dlaniger]

1930s Dobbs for hijinksifying.

Happy almost Friday.

Yo Matt! What's up? Always good to see you. The Dobbs looks great!

Love the sweater !

Thanks Sonero. You can get the sweaters here, https://www.irishgiftsandsweaters.com/ Might be a bit warm for your area, but it served me well out on the bike on a windy day. Great look for you today with the Fed IV and towel and Firehose jacket. I have a pair of their Firehose pants and I could see the cloth doing very nicely for a hard wearing blazer.

Thanks,
Michael

Another nice day here. I've been grabbing the Resistol Western Panama. With this brim we can block a lot of sun!

Wow! Impressive lid my friend. Looks like a pretty good weave from here.

 

[Dlaniger]

I needed a change so I reverted the brim shape of my Falcon Park black cherry lords hat to the way Parker originally made it for me.
Enjoy your day!

Getting back into the swing of things, but still have difficulty putting a bash to this one.

You are teasing everyone! Bash that beautiful hat!

@Frunobulax "made" me buy this. It came yesterday.
He and I both thought it was a homburg from the pics on the eBay. It ain't.

Royal Vita-Felt.

Damn its good to see you Matt! And what a way to come up for air! That brim binding is truly interesting. All the bells and whistles!

Nice Max. Great color.

Wow! What a color! But isn't "Canadian Playboy" a contradiction in terms? Like Military Intelligence or Jumbo Shrimp?

It’s well into the 90s here today so I don’t bad about wearing straw.

I like this one a lot Brent! Great shape. I don't know how long Bee Hats lasted, think this might be 1960s?

Borsalino (French market)

Boy Christophe, you are bringing the A game this week...what next?

Thanks. I've got one of those fishing sweaters from Peru in alpaca. I will take a pic during the cooler months. The firehouse blazer is another topic but are you aware of the 11 or so pockets it has ? It is the ultimate travel jacket. It's like owning a duck canvas blazer with a boat load of pockets.

I like those big brim bindings, very 30s looking somehow

Good to see you Matt, looks better than a homburg anyway. Very cool Vita-felt

Love that color so much Jeff. I like the new/old look.

Wearing a gift from a fellow Lounger who wishes to remain anonymous. My thanks to him for the hat. This is a Culo Brutto Borsalino in black. It's my next project and is already on the block. The felt is real nice and the detailing is second to none. I'll be reusing the original ribbon work and brim binding. There's plenty of hat here to work with and it should make a very nice conversion. I'll be squaring up the crown from its previous very tapered form. It has plenty of open crown height, (somewhere between 5 3/4 and 6 inches tall), and a 3 inches wide brim. I'm not a black hat fan but I may make an exception with this one when I'm finished. I'll have more in the Conversion Corral when it's completed...

Oooooh I can't wait for this one! Black hats matter Terry!

Great minds think alike, @Redfokker. At the dentis with a Mallory XV with Duplex Edge.

Let's see what Goofus and Gallant are up to...
Sent directly from my mind to yours.

You look great in the XV! What shall we wear tomorrow?

just got home from lunch with my wife..... Peter Bros today. Indy Brown 5" crown and 3" dimensional cut brim. My very first custom hat back in 1994. This is the one that started it all.....<sigh>

You always remember your first love. Great color and lines.

Hey all!
The previously discussed Borden. I used a flange and hand shaping to put a curl back in the brim, but I think I'm lacking a technique and probably a tool or two to get the tightness back to the curl.
I was having bad luck getting decent pics, weird lighting today. Here's one that shows the brim a little better.

Have a great day!

Always good to see the Borden. I really like the color.

I was in an Irish mood for shopping this morning. Norm Thompson Original Irish Country Hat and Quill Woolen Market Aran sweater

What a lot of nice hats in today's parade. Fantastic all,

Great look Michael. We still are not cool enough to justify a sweater, soon though...

1930s Dobbs for hijinksifying.

Happy almost Friday.

Easy big fella! Don't show us all of your hats in one day! Classy Dobbs.

Blocks the sun indeed. Shade for a foursome!

Dobbs Hanover Square tonight for work.

I love the color on this Hanover Bill. This model is high on my covet list.

Hey all. While I was rummaging around the hat room. I rediscovered this one which had been sitting in the box new and never worn for about 2 years. Pleasant surprise.

Thank you Mike. I'm anxious to see how this one turns out, myself. It's my first Borsalino and I think it will turn out to be a nice hat.

It's good to have a black one Terry! …………….at least three of them period. It's going to be a merry go round but great to have options! I only wanted one but ended up with a couple more.

I think to put it into perspective? Black is menacingly sexy! Just me again fella's

Can't wait for the transformation!

Cheers!

HA! I'll MEET your Royal Stetson, Mattster, and raise you a DELUXE!

I thought this might have once been a Hommy, too, but nope.



Photo-bombed by a bunch of bananas?! At least you got bombed by a kitty.

Oh, the Vita-Felt ROCKS, Matt!!!!

 

[Bamaboots]

I thought this might have once been a Hommy, too, but nope.

These hats remind me a lot of a Stetsonian with the brim binding reversed.

Right, or maybe an early Whippet. Most other brims seem to be the other way around, now that I think about it.

 

[jonesy86]

I wore this hat all day, but changed jackets after the mail arrived. I like the way the natural felt is so versatile.

They’re all great, João! Love the rolled brim on the first one

That Tom Mix is something!
